Waylon and Ruth Carroll Endowed Scholarship

Waylon and Ruth Carroll

The Waylon and Ruth Carroll Scholarship Endowment was established by friends and family of Waylon and Ruth Carroll and the AgTexas Farm Credit Services in 2001. The scholarship is awarded to students of all classifications majoring in Agricultural Education and Communications or Agricultural and Applied Economics.

Waylon Carroll was a graduate of Texas Tech University and received his Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education in 1950 and continued on to receive his master's in education in 1954. He received his first job with a federal program in Hereford, TX teaching veterans about the latest agricultural trends. He became a vocational agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Canyon High School from 1950 to 1955 and Monterey High School in Lubbock from 1955 to 1965. He moved to Atkins Junior High in 1965 and served as Vice Principal for twelve years and principal for six. He returned to Monterey High School and served as Principal for six more years.

In 1989, he retired from this position but quickly started a new job with Texas Tech's Continuing Education Department. He stayed in this position for twenty years and officially retired in 2009. He was actively involved in the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce, Bayer Museum of Agriculture, and the local junior livestock show before passing away in February 2014.
